The Sammy Stills Interview!

It was so depressing. It was miserable. It was so bad that I couldn't get out of bed without screaming. It was horrible, I cannot tell you how bad it was. I mean, it was so bad that I cried a lot. I didn't think it was ever going to go away. I thought, "it's come to stay," but Brad was so good at talking me through things. He could tell the fear that I had and was really good at talking me out of my thoughts that I was having. He kept saying, "it's going to go away, you just need to do the exercises and sure enough, within a couple weeks, I was much better!

Pills. I do take turmeric a lot, natural medicines like that. I was taking essential oils, I was doing some stretches like twisting and things. Brad taught me a lot of stretches I really didn't know and and even today when I start having some pain flare-ups, I'll do those exercises and I wake up the next morning with it gone. So they do work!

Well, I'd have to say a long time. A friend had suggested that I see a PT a long time ago, but I've seen a chiropractor and it seemed to work. And it still works. I still see my chiropractor, but the pain was so intense that I knew I had to do something. I thought, "well I'm just going to call a physical therapist and see what happens." So I went online and Focus was the first one that popped up! I called them and I loved the way Fonda talked to me, so that's why I went to Focus PT.

 I guess i was a little skeptical because I thought, "I'm seeing a chiropractor right now, do I need to see another professional?" Once I got in and started talking to Brad, I realized, "oh my goodness, I should have done this a long time ago!" It had been years that I'd heard people saying that I have to go, but i just wouldn't go.

There's no comparison! I try to go twice a month and it's made a huge impact on my life. It has changed me a lot. I don't live in fear anymore because i do know now that I can work on my body to make it better. Like I said, I'm getting older and that's a big that's always been a fear of mine. As I got older, when my back would go out, it would just get worse and worse and worse. Focus has made a big impact on my life. They took away my fear. I'm NOT going to live rest my life in pain! I can do something about it!

Getting to know Fonda and Brad has been wonderful. I like who they are. I'd have to say that the best thing is fear. I don't have fear anymore. I know that I can fix my body and I don't have to depend on drugs or surgery. I can I can fix my body myself. That's one thing that I totally love about Focus PT.

I would say try it! I was very skeptical of it. It was ignorance. I didn't know that much about physical therapy! I thought that it was for if you if you were in a car wreck or if you were traumatized by something. I didn't think a backache would be enough to go to a physical therapist but I was so wrong. I would say try it and if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work. I'm sure it will though because it really does make a difference in your life. Just to know a professional that knows you, knows how to how to fix, knows how to fix your body - it's great. I would at least try it. Just one try!

 I can't live without it now! I don't think I could and it's not just going to them for an appointment. It's what I've gotten from being in physical therapy. I know what to do now to make my my body feel better. Religiously, every morning when I get up, I stretch! I do exercises that they've given me to do. I'm so happy with what I found. Physical therapy does work. It does really really work.

I never dread going. I always dread going to see a doctor or a dentist but I really never dread my appointments with Focus
